比利时就欧盟两项电子指令转换工作的最新情况如下:
Belgium
The RoHS directive was implemented nationwide through a Royal Decree published 12 October 2004.. Producer responsibility and waste treatment regulations are the responsibility of the 3 regions. They are adapting existing legislation and voluntary agreements with producer organisations to transpose the WEEE directive:
• Flanders – The VLAREA Ordinance of 2002, amended in December 2003, was amended a second time on 8 October 2004 and has entered into force on 1 December 2004. The VLAREA goes beyond the WEEE directive, e.g. by requiring collection of 7 kg WEEE in 2006.
• Wallonia - Two draft measures, an amendment of the Producer Responsibility Decree which will transpose the provisions relating to producers, and a new decree transposing the provisions on collection and treatment facilities, passed the Environment Committee and the Conseil d’État during the summer, and requested minor amendments are being incorporated. The amendments have not yet been adopted.
• Brussels Region - An amendment to the existing Producer Responsibility Decree was promulgated on 3 June 2004 and published in the Official Gazette on 28 July. A second decree covering collection and treatment facilities was approved on the same day but has not yet been published.
• Covenants - A Pocket Lamp Covenant and a Battery Covenant with BEBAT have been signed for Flanders and Brussels region. The Covenant governing Recupel will be revised in 2005.
Industry response:
• Industry managed RECUPEL has been the only recovery organisation for brown and white goods, ITC and small domestic appliances since 2001 and gardening tools and lighting equipment since 2004. Discussions between government and industry about whether Recupel should handle the remaining WEEE are on-going.
• BEBAT, the battery recovery organisation, has taken back electric torches since July 2004.
